The Growth and Transformation of Volunteers in Japanese Language Classes:

Preliminary Survey Using "Fundamental Competencies for Working Persons" as an Indicator

Abstract

This study conducted a preliminary survey on student volunteers who participated in a Japanese language class to reveal the extent to which they grew and transformed themselves through volunteer activities. The results showed that these volunteers improved in areas such as the “ability to convey,” but no improvement was observed in areas such as the “ability to influence.”
